A real kick below the belt

For the last 6 months I have convinced myself that I was going to deliver Zya Memorial Day weekend. Now my prediction has had no medical backing since my real due date is June 13th. I have been using all of tricks of the "secret" and have pretty much convinced myself that this was the weekend. I went to the doctor today with positive thoughts and an achy nether region and you can imagine my surprise when the doctor told me that I was still a 2. Months of positive thinking did nothing...and all I can say is that the "secret" is a load of crap! I have come to terms with my actual due date and realized that there really is a reason for them. So with this new sunny outlook I have embraced my growing body, I mean I didn't even take my shoes off when I was weighed at the doctors office. I figure the more I weigh now the more I get to lose later...what a fun little game I have set up for myself!

Halli peed in the potty for the first time this week and I couldn't be happier. It's funny how things change; 5 years ago I would never have sent out a mass text about pee in a potty (even though I was living with my brother and it would have been a red letter day if he would actually have peed in the potty) but here I am glowing with pride for my little bug! Halli is getting more and more adventurous by the day. It's not uncommon to find her jumping off the coffee table, or the stairs, or the couch. Her poor little legs are so bruised, I just hope child protective services doesn't come a knocking! She seems to be getting more excited about the baby, she even says between 'nummy' sessions that "baby drink nummies". It's going to be a fun little game to see how well she'll share. If weening doesn't continue to go well I am going to be a full-fledged milking machine! Wish me luck!

Before I mention Eric, I have to say that he wants nothing to do with this blog, he has already told me that he doesn't think I'm funny or clever so I mention him against his will! Eric is one class away from his MBA and we all couldn't be happier! He will be totally done in July. He has worked really hard and our family is lucky to have him! He did get into Pharmacy school but as his MBA classes end the thought of four more years is terrible, so we're hoping that he'll fall into something great (preferably not in Mongolia)!

As May turns into June, wish me luck that this stubborn little babe will actually come!
